Description:The Statistician joined the Journal of the Royal Statistical
Society as its Series D from the journal of the Institute
of Statisticians after the merger of the two bodies in 1993. The journal was
first published by the Institute in 1950 as The Incorporated Statistician.
It is now a valuable resource for professional statisticians involved in industry,
academic research and education. Articles reflect current research by statisticians
worldwide and cover key issues in an informative and accessible way. Some themes
of interest to the journal are the teaching and communication of statistics,
statistical computing and all aspects of statistics in sport. The journal also
aims to bridge the gap between statistical theory and practice and to provide
access to currently active or new areas of research by the regular publication
of review articles by specialists in these fields. Other important themes include
the history and philosophy of statistics and the interaction of statistics with
other disciplines as diverse as geography and medicine. The journal thus attempts
to reflect the maturity of statistics as a science in its own right and as an
intrinsic component of scientific endeavor.

Abstract

Several techniques for obtaining a visual representation of multivariate data are discussed and then applied to various sets of data. Such techniques should be useful for a preliminary low level investigation of multivariate data and in many cases may also be used in assisting communicating results to the investigator involved.
